strikes at and extirpates the most prolific
nerve -shattering disease, fever and ague, is
among the formidable ailments, to the re-

The organization of u Board of
Health for this town is a step wisely
taken, and one which will have the
good effect of making our citizens
all the more careful. Neglect natur
ally arises when things are allowed
to so from year to year without pro-
per investigation on the part of those
whose duty it should be to look into
such matters. Property owners be-
come careless, and ofentimes fail to
observe nuisances that collect from
time to time. The duty of the Board
of Health is to keep town in a
healthy sanitary condition. They
will carefully investigate all com
plants that come to them through
the proper channel. Now it would
be well, in view Of the duty of the
health officers, for every citizen to
see that no filth is allowed 10 ac-
cumulate and that all drains are
kept open and free from obstruction.
The health of every one depends on
the promptness and efficiency of our
Board of Health enforcing the laws,
which they say they will do to the
letter.

Massaored in chesapeake Bay.

\ terrible massacre on Monday night
at Cape Charles, in the lower part of the
eastern shore of Virginia A fleet of
fishing schooners arrived here on Mon
day from the Rappahonnock river. Some
of the fishermen, after drinking freely, got
into Il disturbance with some of the
citizens, which the town bailiif attempt
ed to quiet lie was knocked down
several times by one of the fishermen,
and in revenge opened fire on the strang-
ers, who were all unarmed. Several of
the citizens also joined in the firing and
many of the fishermen were wounded.
The others fled to their boats and put
out into the bay, carrying with them all
the wounded except five, who were too
severely injured to get away Several Of
the wounded men will probably die. -

TIE need of publishing the laws
of the state, in some way that the
people can find out by what they
are governed before a yearhas elaps-
ed after the adjournment of the
Legislature. has been demonstrated
dozens of times this summer in the
moving of traction engines in ways
that are contrary to special acts
made for just such cases. 1t would
be well for owners Of such engines
to look into the matter as the law is
severe, and a suit for damages would
about take the engine. This is an
other instance Of the poor system of
government under the present Con-
stitution, that legalizes addition, di-
vision and silence in managing po-
litical affairs in Delaware.-Mltor
Chronicle
We have always thought that GER
tain laws ought to be published,
thereby giving all parties a chance
to see just how they are governed.
By being ignorant Of Il certain law
docs not clear any one guilty if vio-
lating said law, and therefore we
agree with the Giroaicle that there
is a need of publishing the laws. 1t
will benefit all of us, and probably
make less cases at court and fewer
criminals.

The failure of the James Il Webb
Printing and Stationery Company of
Wilmington startled many who be-
lieved the corporation to be fnanci-
ally solid. No good reason has yet
been advanced why the failure
occurred, otherwise than the creditors
or heavy stockholders failed to get
sufficient returns for money invest
ed. 1t was generally believed that
the company received heavy con-
tracts of printing, beside having a
general good trade. The great diff
Guilty seems to he with companies,
that expenses are not kept down as
they should be, although such does
not appear to be the case of the re-
cent failure. We feel sorry for the
unfortunate company and hope yet
to see it get on its feet.

INro the life of newspaper men
some trouble must fall. There are
men who are injured by an illusion
or perhaps the truth told about them
and they must have satisfaction. An
individual called at the office of the
Sunday Star, Wilmington, and want
ed something, and in an unguarded
moment struck Editor Bell over the
head with a chair. The result was
that Mr.. Bell scientifically struck
the man 50 hard three or four times
that his eyes bulged out and he was
quiet enough afterward. He didn't
find out who wrote the article. No
doubt this man was mad but he had
a wrong idea when he entered the
Star Office. Always approach a news
paper man as if he was human, and
you will get more satisfaction than
if you approach him in Il whitehead
of passion. We are glad that Editor
Bell came out first best.

did he let up in his good work, but col
Jared the chap after satisfaction and held
him until policeman relieved him of
the charge. Mr. Bell is to be congratula-
ted on the very business-like manner in
which he bested his man. There can be
no question as to the great number of
individuals who at various times fancy
they have been grossly insulted or mis-
represented by Il newspaper article. In
many cases they have been but when
they seek for a rotraction in warlike
spirit, it is but natural that they succeed
in getting the worst of the encounter,
And so they should. If you have a

REHoBoTH had genuine bathing
score this week. The treacherous
waves had washed Il deep hole, and
into it went one of the bathers. His
cries for help were promptly respond
ed to, but the would-be rescuerer was
sucked into the same deep waters,
and it was with much difficulty that
the battlers with the waves were
saved. The incident only illustrates
that bathers at sea side resorts are

Sirs About three months ago, noticing
a letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Halls Catarrh Cure
We were induced to commence the use
of it for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering from
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use Of almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hold
her mouth open to keep her from strang-
ling. Her hearing had also become af-
fected. We were afraid that she would
never recover We have now used six
bottles of HALLS CATARRu CURE, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In
a few days after commencing the use of
it we noticed decided change for the
better, and from that right along she
has improved, until now She breathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps well and
her hearing is perfectly good. We feel
that the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefited in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such change
could DO effected in so short time after
battling with the disease so long. We
are still using the remedy at intervals, rs
it seems to build up her system. You
are at liberty to use this in any manner
you see proper. We are yours, truly,
